- Add the garlic, chilli and paprika. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes
- If you want to add chorizo to this, slice or dice it and add it to the pan at the same time as the garlic, chilli and paprika.If you want to add leftover cooked chicken, pre-cooked prawns or pre-cooked mixed seafood to this, add them in at the same time as the frozen peas. Make sure you heat through until piping hot.
